Poland - Bus to Krakow (#2251)

This could pass for central Indiana.

I couldn't capture it well from the bus window, but the farm yards looked much more like the Midwest (or anywhere U.S.) that what I was seeing in Germany -- more spread out, more 'never throw anything away' clutter. And, no way at all to verify this sense, but it looked like the fields were much larger than in Germany. I was told that the part of Poland is the 'bread basket' (and vegetable source) for much of northern Europe.

And, of course, in another sense Poland's flatness was its misfortune--it made it a corridor for armies, going both ways. If the US weren't a single political entity that might've happened in the Midwest!
